Hi, have an application that is going to be shipping on devices with varying font support in several different locales. Some of them will have the standard Android fonts on them (supporting Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese characters, etc.), and others will have extended font support (Thai, Hindi, others).
My application displays text in languages that aren't guaranteed to be supported by Android's native fonts on all the devices it will ship on. (This is outside of the normal translated string resources). So I would like to know if it's possible to interrogate font support for a given language at runtime. In other words, given a string of text, can I interrogate something in the Android API that tells me whether there's a font available to display the text? I can get the Unicode block for a given string of characters easily enough. Given that information, I would think I could get a list of fonts in Android, and see if there's support for my Unicode block in the available fonts. Is that possible? Any insights greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kelly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
